Introduction School is a miniature form of our society and is an important context for children’s wellbeing (Gutsman & Feinstein, 2008) and academic achievement. Educational settings are expected to achieve academic results and not much emphasis is given on the social and emotional well being although it has been proposed as a main goal of education. Apart from that, adolescence is viewed as a transitional period during which biological, cognitive, emotional and social functions become reorganized. For adolescents this is a time of restructuring not only with themselves but also their peers, neighborhoods and the wider context.
